Black Identity Extremism (BIE) is a designation coined in a leaked FBI counterterrorism report from August 2017 describing police safety concerns from an allegedly "violent" black civil liberty activism in the United States.
Background[edit]
An internal FBI report dated August 3, 2017 that appears to have coined a new term was obtained and made public in October 2017 by Foreign Policy.[1][2][3] According to Foreign Policy, the report is the first reference to "black identity extremists." Former government officials and legal experts claim the term describes a movement that does not exist.[1] After the report was leaked, civil liberties organizations and political commentators expressed concern that the internal use of this designation by the FBI's counter terrorism unit signals a politically-motivated effort to falsely equivocate black activism, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, with white supremacists.[4][5]
The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, the nation's largest black police group, states that the FBI designation is "ill advised."[2]
